Ollie Kew, 24 May 2013 12:30

Renault will show off this mid-engined supermini concept at the 2013 Monaco Grand prix race weekend. Called the TwinRun, the R5 Turbo-inspired creation is powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6, and will hit 155mph flat out.

Nissan has given the 370Z a shot in the arm for its fourth year on sale, cutting the price of the entry-level model by £3,005, and adding a new range-topper: the upgraded 370Z Nismo. So just how cheap is a new 370Z now? You can get a base-spec coupe for £26,995, which comes with the facelifted front end (new bumper ...

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2013 09:00

Month 3 running a Ford Focus ST: should the ST have four-wheel drive? Interesting one, , this: Ford won’t sell you the punchiest diesel Kuga SUV in front-wheel-drive guise, instead ensuring that its 251lb ft of torque flows through all four tyres. But our Focus ST channels 265lb ft through the front wheels alone, with none of the trick limited-slip ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 13:00

These spy shots of a pre-production BMW M4 coupe show that the new M car is in the final stages of development. With only a thin veil of camo-tape wrapping the aggressive ducts and flared flanks of the new M Division coupe, it’s clear the M4 is on track for its summer 2014 arrival – following the new M3 at ...

Lotus prices Exige S Roadster from £52,900

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 11:00

Lotus has announced its new Exige S Roadster will be priced from £52,900 – exactly the same as the hard-top Exige S. It’s also slightly lighter than the fixed-head Exige, and matches its blistering acceleration times.  That £52,900 tag makes the 345bhp Exige S Roadster £7500 pricier than a (pre-options list) Porsche Boxster S manual, though the 1328kg Porsche makes ...

BMW i8 and new M5 spied by CAR reader in Monaco

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 15:00

In the week leading up the 2013 Monaco F1 Grand Prix, you’d expect to see some exotic cars patrolling the principality’s streets – but perhaps not camouflaged sporty BMW test mules. That’s exactly what CAR reader Matthew Stanton spotted on Monaco’s Rue Grimaldi, outside the headquarters of British yachtmakers Sunseeker. Are those hard-working BMW test-drivers taking a break in the ...

Renaultsport Megane Red Bull Racing RB8 (2013) first pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 10:00

Five months after winning its third consecutive F1 constructor’s title, Red Bull has teamed up with F1 engine producer’s Renault to celebrate with a special hot hatch. It’s called (deep breath): Renault Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8. Surely the engine supplier to the mighty Seb Vettel has upped power for this RS Megane? Nope. It’s still a 2.0-litre turbocharged ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...
